Mother Don't Weep for Your Darling.
Copyright. 1882, by Wm. J. A. Lieder.
Words and Music by Tommy Tucker. Arranged by Jos. Schwenseck.
Mother don't weep for your darling, for I soon will be at rest;
'Cross that dark and silent river I will mingle with the blest.
From this cold world I am going, to my heavenly home above,
Where the angels they are singing sweetest songs of joy And love.
Chorus.
Mother don't weep for your darling, for I soon will be at rest,
'Cross that dark And silent river I will mingle with the blest.
Mother don't weep for your darling, wipe those tears from off your cheek,
If I ever have offended, pardon from you I would seek.
Cheer up, mother, don't feel sad now, for I only go before,
I'll be wailing there to meet you on that lovely golden shore.-Chorus.
